The inner courtyard of the palace is the most luxurious place in Shu, pavilions and pavilions, jade tiles and golden eaves, the forest is serious and cold, and it is luxurious and exquisite to the peak.

As the sun sets, a piece of colorful glow in the western sky is smeared into an ink painting, which is extremely gorgeous and glamorous, and the whole palace is also reflected in the gorgeous and exquisite.

He Mengxi's residence is not a separate palace room, it belongs to the west cross courtyard of Ning'an Palace, Ning'an Palace is connected to the east and west two cross courtyards in addition to the main palace, and Si Yan lives in the east cross courtyard.

In the evening, Si Yan really came with gifts, and He Mengxi greeted him and let him enter the inner hall.

The princess's residence is naturally different from other places, with pink colors, light gauze curtains in light tones, carved windows and blue yarn, deep and wide space, complete display of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and incense burner to warm the bed.

The two sat in the main hall, the green plum served tea, and the incense burner was lightly fragrant, mixed with the fragrance of tea, and the house was full of fragrance.

"What kind of fragrance does my sister use, it smells so good, sweet, not strong, but refreshing." Si Yan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

He Mengxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, this is our specialty of Chen Guo, the four seasons flower plus the fruit in the deep mountains, dried and twisted powder, called Four Seasons Shengping, if you like it, I will give you a box." ”

"Then I want to thank my sister, I have heard a little about the court today, and I have doubts, so I asked, do my sister and Ling Zixu have an indissoluble enmity?"

"Uh......" He Mengxi was stunned, originally she thought that the two were just chatting about some innocuous topics such as wind and snow, but unexpectedly, Si Yan suddenly asked this, and she didn't react for a while.

"Otherwise, why did my sister frame him, these teas were brought by the envoys of Chen Guo, and those cages are not all gold and silver treasures, right, they are clearly what you want, why did he say that he took them?"

Si Yan's eyes were suddenly sharp, and her words were aggressive.

"Ah, that's the case......" He Mengxi's mind moved slightly, thinking about how to justify.

"This matter is clear at a glance, you don't have to quibble, I have heard a little about the grudge between you, it is also common sense for you to take revenge on him, but do you really hate him so much, he is already pitiful enough, why do you still step on a foot and have to put him to death?"

She said everything, and He Mengxi felt that she didn't need to explain.

"Well, it's not that serious, he can't die, you don't have to worry!" He Mengxi comforted Si Yan.

"What am I worried about, I just pity him, those women of his are all wolf-hearted, look at what they have done, no wonder, Brother Ling always says, he is also involuntarily, his women, either this spy or that spies, there is no one who is sincere with him, pity Brother Ling, how sad he should be, how heartbroken he should be!"

Si Yan frowned, obviously worried to death, and still didn't admit it, He Mengxi only felt funny.

"Uh, yes, it's certain that he is uncomfortable, but since Your Majesty asked him to defend himself, it means that Your Majesty still trusts him, and in the end he only said that he intended to rebel, and did not say that the evidence is conclusive, so this time, he must be in danger, don't worry!"

He Mengxi had nothing else to say except for persuasion.

"Anyway, I must go to prison to see him, what's wrong with him? It's just that some people are jealous of his ability and can't tolerate him! Si Yan was indignant.

"Yes, yes, you should comfort him, or he's so pitiful, right?" He Mengxi was dumbfounded.

"Are you going with me?" Si Yan asked suddenly.

"Uh, me? Don't worry about it, he's hating me, and, you, childhood sweethearts, must have a lot of whispers to say, I'm going, isn't it too ...... An eyesore? He Mengxi found a reason.

"It's good that I want you to go with me, or I go by myself, my father will definitely not agree, just say it's you, you want to go, I'll accompany you, how about it?" Si Yan actually looked at He Mengxi with anticipation.

"But, I ...... Go, and Your Majesty will agree? He Mengxi smiled a little unnaturally.

"Your Majesty will definitely agree if you go!" Si Yan is full of confidence.

Si Chong really agreed.

When He Mengxi went to thank him the next day, he mentioned by the way, Si Chong said: "Okay, but whether he will see you or not, it's not certain!" ”

At this time, Si Yan, who was standing aside, immediately said, "Father, I want to accompany Princess Jinlin together." ”

Si Chong was puzzled: "You? ”

But looking at her eager expectant gaze, she agreed.

In order not to attract attention, the two came to Xicheng Prison at dusk.

When the two princesses went out of the palace, they were naturally protected by the golden armor guards all the way, and when they arrived at Xicheng Prison, the head of the prison guard saw that the golden armor guards had arrived, and knew that it was the emperor's relatives who came, so they immediately opened the door and let them in.

The big iron gate of Xicheng Prison is thick and solid, and the layout of the entire prison is as solid as a copper wall, layer after layer, door after door.

The walls were high and thick, and there were many fences, which were well guarded.

Turning left and right, the two were taken to an underground cell covered with iron cages as if they were going around a maze.

"This is it, two princesses, please!"

The jailer who led them was very sensible, and when he got to the place, he respectfully withdrew.

The two golden-armored guards were about to follow, but were stopped by Si Yan: "You, you stand here and wait......"

Then the two walked inside hand in hand.

In the black iron cage, a pair of hands that were grabbing and dancing stretched out from time to time, as if they would catch them all at once.

"Help!"

"Let me out!"

There are intermittent low shouts of despair, weak but chilling.

Si Yan grabbed He Mengxi's wrist, trembling and not daring to look at both sides.

"Why did my father lock him up in such a place, no, I'm going to talk to my father about ......"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you should save it, this is a prison, he committed the great crime of rebellion, will he open another single room, good tea and good food? This is a prison, not a palace, he ......"

He Mengxi suddenly stopped, opened her mouth and couldn't continue...... what did she see?

I saw that in the innermost compartment, the candles were in full bloom, there were tables and chairs, and beds, which were neatly furnished.

A man with a few neat strands of black hair was simply tied at the back of his head, and then he was scattered and dressed in pure white plain clothes, sitting in the candlelight...... Reading.

The swaying light reflected his white jade-like face, his eyelashes drooped, and his expression was indifferent, not like he was in prison, but like he was in his own study.

He Mengxi looked at his wrist carefully, there were fine black shackles, and they hung down to the ground, and the shackles and chains of his ankles were connected, only this place was a little sorripy, reminding him that he was still a prisoner.

He heard footsteps, slowly looked up, saw two people coming, and exclaimed, "You, you?" ”
